Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah of course- Watch Darren Farley welcome Gerrard to Villa

Darren Farley has welcomed Steven Gerrard to Aston Villa in his inimitable style as English fans prepare to hear the high-pitched Scouse squeal on a regular basis.

After three years of dealing with the fawning Scottish media things got even more claustrophobic this season with media outlets having to pay £25,000 for pre-match access to the Ibrox boss.

With star struck fan boys opening their questions with ‘Hi Steven’ or ‘Good Morning Steven’ the You Tube offerings were cringeworthy with every negative flipped into a positive. Even after humiliating European defeats.

Gerrard will now find some real media interest; the novelty will soon wear off as he is grilled about results. An opening run against Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Manchester City and Liverpool will quickly uncover whether Gerrard and his revered coaching staff can cut it with the highest paid managers in the business.

Gerrard’s slip against Chelsea in 2014 will be celebrated in song at every ground in the country, Farley and others could soon have some fresh material, of course.
